hey!
| Zitat: |
Heya,
here's a new release of mkvtoolnix after almost a month. This release
features a couple of new features like sample precision for timestamps
and durations and support for a couple new Matroska elements.
This release is also a feature freeze. The following releases will only
contain bug fixes. The goal is to have a release 1.0 soon which will
hopefully contain as few bugs as possible. So don't hesitate to report
any outstanding bugs 
A note to all Windows users: Files created with this new version require
a new version of Gabest's Matroska splitter - at least 1.0.2.4 available
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli
Alternatively you can use Haali's new splitter. Read about it on this
thread on doom9.org:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80762
The usual links...
...to the homepage:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
...the source code:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...x-0.9.5.tar.bz2
...the Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...olnix-0.9.5.rar
The Linux binaries for Debian, SuSE and Fedora Core have already been
uploaded as well and are available from the homepage.
Here's the ChangeLog since 0.9.4:
--------------------------------------------
2004-08-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.9.5.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: WAV files which contained a 'PAD ' chunk
before the 'data' chunk were not processed at all.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Use 'setjmp' and 'longjmp' Instead of
throwing a C++ exception during the chapter parsing
stage. Otherwise libexpat will abort with a non-descriptive error
message on Windows.
2004-08-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: SSA/ASS subs with the old codec ID 'S_SSA'
and 'S_ASS' were accepted, but their codec ID was kept. It is now
correctly changed to 'S_TEXT/SSA' and 'S_TEXT/ASS'.
2004-08-19 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: new feature: Added support for
the new 'EditionFlagHidden', 'EditionFlagDefault' and
'EditionManaged' elements.
* mkvmerge: Added 'EditionUID' to valid elements below '<Targets>'
in XML tags. Fixed the creation of the 'Targets' with
--global-tags and --tags.
2004-08-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: Added support for the new tag
elements ('tag language' and 'default/original language').
* mkvmerge: new feature: If there was no MIME type given for an
attachment then mkvmerge will try to guess it based on the file's
extension just like mmg.
2004-08-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mmg: Changes to the chapter
handling. EditionUIDs are always created. mkvextract outputs
EditionUIDs and ChapterUIDs normally. mkvmerge tries to keep
EditionUIDs and ChapterUIDs but replaces them if they aren't
unique.
2004-08-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The 'down' button on the 'input' tab was not
working correctly in all cases.
2004-08-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvinfo, mmg: bug fix: Fixed compilation with Unicode enabled
versions of wxWidgets.
2004-08-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Try to guess whether tags read from OGM
files (for automatic language tag setting and for copying chapter
information) are already in UTF-8 or not. If not try to convert
them from the current system's charset.
2004-08-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: use the same UID for the EditionUID in the
chapters and in the tag targets when parsing a CUE sheet.
2004-08-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge/mkvextract: new feature: Use the new EditionUID entries
when convert CUE sheets to chapters and tracks. This is in
preparation for 'multiple CDs to single Matroska file'
conversions.
* mkvmerge: new feature: Abort muxing if the output file name is
the same as the name of one of the input files.
2004-08-01 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Implemented sample-precision for
timestamps and durations on audio only files.
* mkvextract: bug fix: The CUE extraction wrote UTF-8 characters
but no UTF-8 BOM (byte order marker) at the beginning.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Handle TTA files with ID3 tags correctly ( =
skip the ID3 tags).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: There was an illegal free() in the OGM
reader.
2004-07-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: bug fix: The subtitle track extraction used the wrong
duration in 0.9.4.
2004-07-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: new feature: Limited support for extracting chapters
as CUE sheets that haven't been created by using a CUE sheet with
mkvmerge's "--chapters" option.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Block durations with 0s length (e.g. entries
in a SSA file) were not written.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The FLAC packetizer gets the duration
from the FLAC packet itself.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The word 'TAG' occuring in e.g. SRT subs
caused the ID3/MP3 frame detection to be stuck n an endless loop.
-------------------------------------
Have fun

hey!
so wieder mal ne neue version:
| Zitat: |
Hey,
weeeeeee! It's been quite some time since the last release. Probably
longer than since any other release. But here we go.
This funky release features tons of bug features and a couple of new
features and a complete rewrite of the chapter handling (which you won't
notice, but it a really big change, so there might still be bugs. But I
doubt it).
You should read the ChangeLog below -- I really don't want to repeat
everything here 
Here are the usual URLs to...
...the home page:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
...the source code:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoo...x-0.9.6.tar.bz2
...the Windows binaries:
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoo...olnix-0.9.6.rar
The packages for SuSE Linux 9.0 and 9.1 as well as those for RedHat 9 /
FedoraCore 1 and 2 are still being built and will be available from my
home page shortly.
Here's the ChangeLog since the previous release, 0.9.5:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2004-10-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.9.6.
* mkvextract: bug fix: The track extraction was creating the
output file twice if the Matroska file contained a copy of the
track headers. This resulted in the first extracted file being
overwritten at the end of extraction.
* mmg: bug fix: If the file title is read from an input file, not
modified by the user and that input file is removed again then the
file title will be unset.
2004-10-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: enhancement: Converted the raw FLAC reader to use
another interface to the FLAC libraries. This results in a speedup
of up to 50%. Thanks to Josh Coalson for telling me about its
existence.
2004-10-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added two warnings. One about invalid
track IDs that were used on the command line but that don't
correspond to an available track in a file and one if no track
will be copied from a source file. Both warnings hint at bad
command line arguments.
2004-10-03 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Only write the segment duration as a 64bit float if
there is no video track present. This way users won't have to
update their DirectShow filter/apps for most files. Only
audio-only files need this precision anyway.
* mkvmerge: Changed the Ogg/OGM reader to use the stream number
and not its serial number as the track ID (meaning the track IDs
will be 0, 1, 2... etc. instead of the random numbers oggenc uses
as the serial numbers).
2004-09-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: The CUE sheet parser now accepts INDEX
lines with indices from 00 up to 99 and implements the Red Book
specification for audio CDs that way. Patch by Vegard Pettersen
<vegard_p at broadpark adot no>.
2004-09-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvextract: bug fix: ASS was handled like SSA which is
not correct in each case, especially when extracting it.
* mkvextract: bug fix: The WAV writer was not endian safe.
2004-09-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The charset was not set correctly on Solaris.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge crashed when reading Matroska files
that contain an empty tag list.
2004-09-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Some Matroska files that e.g. have had their
timecodes offset with the Matroska Stream Editor or other means
may contain timecodes that caused mkvmerge to print a warning
about "timecode < last_timecode". A new fix implements a
workaround and a warning message with a proper explanation for
this case.
2004-09-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Older Matroska files containing chapters
caused mkvmerge to abort muxing.
2004-09-21 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was only copying the last tag of a
list of tags applying to a track from a Matroska file.
2004-09-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge will show a nice warning if the
entries in a SRT have non-continuous timestamps. It'll also sort
the entries by their start timestamp instead of throwing the
generic "timecode < previous timecode" warning.
* mmg: bug fix: The 'Matroska file analysis' window that occurs
when reading chapters from a Matroska file did not disappear if it
was minimized when the process finished.
2004-09-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added a new parameter
--aspect-ratio-factor.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: Strings from chapters and tags were shown in
UTF-8 instead of the local charset. This bug was introduced around
2004-08-28.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Not all chapter elements were copied
correctly from a source Matroska file.
2004-09-07 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvextract: Sped up the extraction of attachments, chapters,
cuesheets and tags by using the seek head information and not
parsing the full file each time.
2004-09-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Matroska reader was not handling very big
cluster timecodes correctly. Those can occur when the timecode
scale factor is very small.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Empty clusters in Matroska files no longer
make mkvmerge think that file has been read completely.
2004-08-31 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added support for MP2 (and maybe MP3)
audio in MP4 containers.
2004-08-29 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: The chapter and tag parsers accept XML
element attributes instead of sub-elements for those sub-elements
that only contain data. Example for a "simple tag":
<Simple Name="ARTIST" String="Tori Amos"/>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The automatic MIME type detection based on
the file name extension was using the file name extension as the
MIME type.
2004-08-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo: new feature: Added the four new PixelCrop
elements.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: new feature: Added
'TargetTypeValue' as a supported tagging element.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: Complete rewrite of the chapter
and tag parsing and output functions. Additions will be much
easier now.
* mkvmerge, mkvextract, mkvinfo: feature removed: Dropped support
for the very old and deprecated tagging system. No one used it
anyway.
2004-08-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Allow the use of two-letter ISO639-1
country codes in for the '--language' parameter. Those will be
converted to the corresponding ISO639-2 language code
automatically.
2004-08-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge, mkvinfo, mkvextract: new feature: Added support for
the 'TargetType' tag element (which I meant to add before the
0.9.5 release...).
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The MP3 handling was broken on weird and rare
occasions when reading MP3 from a Matroska file.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Removed a bogus warning about an attachment's
MIME type having been given more than once.

hey!
und die nächste version, aber leider noch nicht 1.0.
| Zitat: |
Here we go
Still not at 1.0, but we're closing in. The latest release (created
yesterday) is 0.9.7 and features a couple of bug fixes, some fairly
major. Don't worry, the files created with 0.9.6 are fine, but there we
some bugs that wouldn't allow you to create one in the first place
Anyway, read the ChangeLog below for details.
One thing I've changed is the code for external timecodes. The problem
has been for quite some time that mkvmerge wrote files that weren't 100%
spec compliant. Therefore I'd like to get some feedback if the handling
for external timecode files is still OK (I don't have any variable FPS
files, so I can't test extensively).
The usual links to...
...the homepage:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
...the source code:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...x-0.9.7.tar.bz2
...the Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...olnix-0.9.7.rar
Binaries for other Linux distros are available from the home page, too.
Last the ChangeLog since 0.9.6:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2004-10-24 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v0.9.7.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The handling of external timecode files was
still not correct but should be OK now.
2004-10-17 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Added an error message if the user selects 'mmg' as the
'mkvmerge executable' because that would lead to an infinite
number of 'mmg's being spawned.
2004-10-16 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: If LFE is on for DTS then the number of
channels is one more than what the DTS frame header says.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Timecodes for Vorbis were wrong on rare
occasions (when reading laced Vorbis from a Matroska file and
changing the lacing, e.g. when splitting for the second and all
following files).
2004-10-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge/mkvinfo/mkvextract: bug fix: The chapter and tag
element tables were not always intialized correctly depending on
the compiler and the optimization flags used.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The OGM reader was broken if at least one
track was not to be copied from the file (happened between 0.9.5
and 0.9.6).
* mmg: bug fix: After loading saved mmg settings the track input
box listed the tracks always coming from the last input file and
not from the one they really came from.
2004-10-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: enhancement: Made mmg's main window properly resizable.
* mkvmerge: Rewrote the code for the external timecode files. This
also fixes bug 99: The durations for the individual tracks were
not correct for those tracks for which --timecodes was used.
2004-10-08 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Crash when saving chapters from the chapter
editor. Same as the mkvinfo issue below but on all OS.
* mkvinfo: bug fix: The chapter and tag element tables were not
initialized on Windows resulting in a crash when one of those
elements was encountered.

Hey,
Finally! Here it is: mkvtoolnix 1.0
I've meant to release this for over a week now, but something always got in the way. But no longer
After...
- nearly one year and ten months after joining the Matroska team on 2003-01-14,
- over one year and five months since the first public release on 2003-06-12,
- writing more than 62000 lines of code, documentation and examples,
- a LOT of bugs,
- as many bug fixes,
- way too many hours of coding, idling on IRC, writing mails and posts to various forums
... I've decided to call this release 1.0.
And I'm REALLY happy to have gotten this far. Because to be honest -- I don't do this for myself. If I was I would have stopped a long time ago, because the features that I want and need have been there for quite some time now. No, I work on this project for three reasons:
1. Fame,
2. Money,
3. becoming the Supreme Overlord of the Known Universe.
Less important reasons are:
1. I believe that Matroska is a great project, and that the multimedia scene needed such a container.
2. You ask for it
Seriously. Your constant feedback (be it bug reports or feature requests) tells me what I've done wrong and what you need. I really prefer doing things that a lot of people can use over doing things only I might need. So everyone out there contributing to the project, coding for Matroska, sending patches, reporting bugs, nagging me about new features, providing sample files (!), sending a nice postcard or a nice cup from this year's European championship in Portugal (!!) -- a big THANKS from my side to you all. You keep the project going as much as I do.
3. I like coding in general, and I like coding on this container level in particular. It's fun
So what have I accomplished? Well, mkvtoolnix can handle a small number of different containers and flat file formats like
- AAC,
- AC3,
- AVI
- DTS,
- FLAC,
- Matroska
- MP3,
- Ogg/OGM,
- Quicktime/MP4,
- RealMedia,
- SRT,
- SSA/ASS,
- TTA,
- VobSubs and
- WAV.
It can deal with a number of different codecs, meaning it knows exactly how to put them into Matroska:
- AAC,
- AC3,
- DTS,
- FLAC,
- MP3,
- PCM,
- RealAudio,
- RealVideo (pretty much all versions),
- SRT,
- SSA/ASS
- TTA,
- different video formats,
- VobSubs,
- Vorbis
On top of that mkvmerge can handle attachments, chapters, tags, reorder tracks... There is a totally horrible GUI called mmg
which is probably the reason for mkvtoolnix' success on Windows (even though I really, really don't like GUI programming). There's a tool that can get most of those tracks out of a Matroska file into other container formats again. And there's a tool for getting information on a per-element level from a Matroska file.
Quite some work, I assure you, but you know why I keep on doing this
Another round of thanks goes out to the "core" of the Matroska team and those who don't consider themselves a member of the team but who've done tremendous work nevertheless (/me waves to alexnoe
).
Where will I go from here? A few months ago I posted a "1.0 release plan", and I haven't changed my expectations since then. I will continue the 1.0 line with bug fixes only. I've started working on another code branch, often called 'trunk', which will result in a releast "1.2" next year. This is where new features will be implemented like support for MPEG1/2 video (already working on that,
good progress), support for native MPEG4, support for appending / concatenating files (already working on that with very good progress), partial redesign of mmg etc. The "1.0" release line will stay stable and (hopefully) mostly bug free.
And now to the usual links to...
... the home page:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
... the source code:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...nix-1.0.tar.bz2
... the Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...toolnix-1.0.rar
Binary packages for Debian, FedoraCore and SuSE have already been built and uploaded to the home page.
Here are the final changes between 0.9.7 and 1.0:
---------------------- cut -----------------------------
2004-11-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The Matroska reader doesn't insist on having a default duration ( = FPS) for video tracks in the "AVI compatibility mode" ( = with the CodecID "V_MS/VFW/FOURCC"). This enables re-muxing of Matroska files created from MP4 files.
2004-11-05 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: File names with non-ASCII characters were not working if mmg was compiled against a Unicode enabled wxWidgets.
2004-11-04 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: new feature: Added reading DTS from AVIs and from Matroska files.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: A variable initialization was missing which very recent gcc versions (3.4.2) did not like very much. Also fixed a small compilation bug.
---------------------- cut -----------------------------
You see, a couple of small bug fixes and small additions. Nothing major, and nothing to worry about.
That's it for tonight. Have fun
Mosu

hey!
super, wollte gerade selbst posten dass es die final gibt, aber wenn mosu das schon selbst macht... |
Wenn ich dran denke
Ich hab eine Checkliste mit allem, was ich bei jedem Release so machen muss, und trotzdem vergess ich das eine oder andere ab und zu mal... (So zur Info: bis ich alle Eails und Boardeinträge geschrieben, alle Binärpakete gebaut, den Freshmeat-Eintrag aktualisiert hab, vergehen zwischen 90 und 120min.)

hey!
wieder ne neue version von mktoolnix!
| Zitat: |
maybe you've noticed it already: I've released v1.0.1 yesterday
evening. It's really only a bug fix release with a couple of minor
annoyances (nothing major). The usual links:
...to the homepage:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
...the source code:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...x-1.0.1.tar.bz2
...the Windows binaries:
http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtool...olnix-1.0.1.rar
Binaries for SuSE and Fedora Core are available from the homepage.
Here's the ChangeLog since 1.0:
---------------------------------------------
2004-12-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.0.1.
2004-12-11 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: Fixed some layout issues with wxWidgets 2.5.3 and newer.
2004-12-10 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: new feature: The window position is saved and restored when
mmg is started the next time.
2004-12-09 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed a crash/memory corruption showing weird
characters in the input boxes. This happened when the user removed
a file from mmg while mmg was updating the command line.
* mmg: bug fix: mmg now has an icon associated with it while it is
running instead of the generic Windows application icon (Windows
only).
* mmg: bug fix: The main window is now minimized during
muxing. This allows to hide both of the windows while muxing is
running and restoring them later, even if they were iconized when
muxing finished (Windows only).
2004-11-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: The first packet of an AAC track read from
Real containers might not start at the timecode 0. This offset was
ignored by mkvmerge.
2004-11-22 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: Made the muxing dialog ("mkvmerge is running")
modal all the time. This prevents the user from hitting the main
window's minimize button. On Windows this makes mmg stuck in
iconized mode if it was iconized when muxing finished.
2004-11-20 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Fixed a buffer overflow in the UTF-8 file
reading routines.
------------------------------------
Have fun
